2008 lowering job. : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

Anyone know of a company that makes a lowering kit yet for the 2008 250??

Just bought one for my GF last Saturday, blue one, $4500 out the door with 4 year extra warrenty for her.
Bike is 1.5 inches taller than the old model and she is 5'4'' 100lb Asian chick. So i need it lowered 2 inches for her.
Dealership sent me to their aftermarket people, but no parts available yet in the catalogs!!. I might have to go the "custom build" route if noone here knows of a manufactor.

I know its a new bike, but I want it done now, no use in the garage!.

Thanks.

I ride 2006 ZX10R, black. Did an intro in the ZX10R Forum

Great forum.

Thanks guys.

So I got a quote for a custom lowering job today. Only about $250. Custom link is only $125.

No brainer. Just thought I would post it for others.

AIP racing in Van Nuys.

I will have some pics soon

Just ordered Jardine Exhaust and Shogun frame slider kit. So I just need to find some adjustable levers and the bike is done.

when you get the exhaust on let us know what it sounds like...my sister has the two bros on hers and i'm still up in the air about which exhaust to get for my girlfriends

Will do

Just remember also the Jardine is only $269.00 compared to the two bros which is like $350-500 depending on Carbon fiber or not. The money was the deal breaker for me.

Hi I am looking into buying a Ninja 250. I have a Rebel 250 right now. I love it but I want more sporty! My friend has a 250 Ninja and I tippy toe it. Is it a safe idea to lower it??? Any ideas on how to lower it. I am only 5' and weigh 95 lbs...lol...But I really want this bike. Thanks

wow your small! (not an insult) no plans on moving up since you already have a rebel 250?

I saw a red one at a dealership that was lowered by an inch. My legs are quite short and didn't really feel a difference between that and my stock one now. I'm also on my tip toes- but at least I have two feet down. Ask the dealership if they can lower it for you. They'll be charging you extra for the parts and labor, of course.
